When can kittens be weaned?

Kittens start weaning at various ages but are generally ready for adoption by the time they are about 8 weeks old. At this point, they are on solid food completely, they can be spayed and neutered, vaccinated and dewormed. It is also important for kittens to come into regular positive contact with various stimuli such as different people, animals, sounds, etc. The better socialized a kitten is, the easier it will be for her to grow into a well-adjusted adult cat. Please spay the mother cat as soon as the kittens are weaned. The Spay Neuter Assistance Program offers low cost vaccinations and sterilization.
